Sholto

I am a female with the name Sholto and I live in South Africa. I absolutely love my name though most folk think I am a male before speaking to me, and of course I've had every possible spelling & pronunciation of my name. And I've had two babies named Sholto due to their parents knowing me, voila! I know that Sholto is also the first part of a double-barreled surname being Sholto-Douglas. I've met 2 men in SA with my name but no women yet.

I think it sounds like a good name for a Scottish Terrier.

I love this name - I first heard of it in a book called "North and South" by my favorite author Elizabeth Gaskell and loved it ever since - it sounds like a really strong name for a boy - it's definitely on the list for our baby.
